So… glasses. I’ve been wearing them since fourth grade and have kind of a love/hate relationship with them. I mostly wish I didn’t need to wear them. I’ve actually tried contact lenses a few times in my life, most recently for my wedding. This time around, I actually managed to get them in and out a few times after hours of trying, but STILL didn’t manage to get them both in on my actual wedding day because I was too nervous. I’ve given up and resigned to the fact that I’m going to be a glasses wearer for life.
So awhile back, I was asked to review a pair of glasses for Firmoo, which is a website for ordering prescription glasses online. I don’t typically review a lot of items on here, but I was very intrigued since glasses usually cost an arm and a leg, and most of theirs are around the $20-30 mark, which is basically a steal. I get sick of my frames very easily since I wear them every day of my life, but at a hundred bucks a pop or more through the optometrist’s office, I can only afford a new pair every few years. I decided I’d give them a shot, and I have to say I was honestly very pleased with my experience and have recommended them to quite a few people already.
First and foremost, be aware that you need to get all your prescription numbers from the eye doctor then input them into the website. I actually goofed on this because as we all know, doctors have horrible handwriting usually. I input the numbers wrong and my first pair arrived way off the mark. Luckily, Firmoo was really great about returns, and after inputting the numbers again, were able to get me a new pair fairly quickly, although the original frames I had chosen were no longer available and I needed to choose a new pair.
The pair I chose were under $30 which is an awesome deal and I actually got a ton of compliments on them. They feel a little light but I’ve been wearing them for a couple of months now with no issues at all. I alternate between this pair and my old pair now and I notice no difference in the quality of the prescription. I also wanted to note that you can update a photo of yourself and virtually “try on” the glasses.
Their service is really great. I received my glasses in just a few days, and they arrived in a nice, sturdy case and included a cloth to wipe the lenses with. I was surprised at the speed of the shipping. Their customer service is also top notch. I had to email them quite a few times and always received a prompt and courteous response in 24 hours or less.
I should note that there are a lot of add on options when ordering the frames such as no scratch, but I stuck to the basics and have been very happy with them.
All in all, I love these glasses. I highly recommend Firmoo because they are affordable but also good quality. Because of their low prices, Firmoo is perfect for people like me who wear glasses daily and would like a few pairs to be able to switch it up… that’s what I’ve been doing. I will definitely order from them again the next time I want a new pair (which will probably be pretty soon). Firmoo definitely has a new customer in me (and no, I was not paid to say any of these things! I just received my pair for free and I really do love them).
